"Truly A Nice Place to Live"

The city motto of Fountain Valley is “A Nice Place to Live,” and Grippo River Avenue epitomizes that motto. This quiet residential street is lined with a dozen roomy 2-story houses built in the early 1980s. All the houses on the street are well maintained. The street is in the interior part of the tract, so there are no traffic noises. There is very little traffic on the street because it ends in a cul-de-sac.

The houses on Grippo River Avenue back onto Cordata Park, a quiet expanse of grass which contains shady trees, a water reservoir, basketball courts and a playground. The park is mostly visited by people walking dogs, children playing on the equipment and youth soccer teams (for practice only).

The tract where Grippo River Avenue is located has underground utilities. Not having telephone poles and utility wires really enhances the appeal of the neighborhood. Another plus is the proximity of a very good elementary school. The location of Grippo River Avenue is very convenient for shopping. Several grocery stores are nearby. Brookhurst Avenue, a major shopping and dining center, is 1 mile from Grippo River Avenue. Huntington State Beach is about 3 miles away.

The residents of Grippo River Avenue know a good thing when they see it. Several have lived there for years and have found it a great place to raise a family.
